Hello James,

I've noted that an E4A makes more noise just from being plugged in than the 5 separate Macs in my office make when up and running.

I'm not curious enough to go home and get my "amp clamp" and its plug-in adapter, but does anybody know, off-hand, how much power an E4A draws when purring away in standby mode, and how much it draws when roaring away, fully powered up?

I remember a two-digit watt when powered off.

I can't remember how much when powered on and no LPARs active.

I remember measuring 400W with all disk slots filled. Idle or the CPUs grinding through something was not much of a difference: The P6 had no power saving functions worth mentioning.

:wq! PoC
